The Karnes County Detention Facility recently marked a milestone of community service through its long-standing partnership with the Toys for Karnes County Tots program. This annual drive, which celebrated its 25th year of service, provides toys and food gift cards to hundreds of local families. Starting in 2000 with 185 children and 80 families, the number of children served has grown significantly. In the most recent season, the program served over 550 children and more than 200 families throughout the county. For 25 years, this partnership with the Sheriff’s Office and Fire Department has brightened many Christmas mornings. For decades to come, it will continue to light up hearts.
